I forgot, what did we decide about this checkpoint? 10.2 Until user agents support explicit associations between labels and form controls, for all form controls with implicitly associated labels, ensure that the label is properly positioned. [Priority 2] The label must immediately precede its control on the same line (allowing more than one control/label per line) or be in the line preceding the control (with only one label and one control per line). Did we bother to figure out yet if we reached that "until user agents" point? Do we currently have a chart of all the "until user agent" clauses that shows which ones have been reached yet and which ones have not? I checked http://www.w3.org/WAI/Resources/WAI-UA-Support and there is "no information" on 10.2. I got asked this in my web accessibility class and I'm of the opinion to tell my student: (a) Ignore 10.2 and just use <label>, and/or (b) Set up style rules such that you have two labels, one before and one after, with appropriate media selectors, and/or (c) Add redundant @title attributes on the form fields. Is the UA-Support page being actively maintained? We refer web developers to it via WCAG, but for the majority of checkpoints we give zero guidance. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201 Forthcoming: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours
